I realize it is not right, that I should criticize other churches and not my own.
In all plainness, CCGC's has shared the common problem in many churches today. Chiefly, I judge those who have the authority in charge, NOT the DEACONS, not the members, but those who know who they are, yet pretend to deny the authority given them, they tolerated quality for quantity, laboring with enthusiasm but without knowledge, separating theology from the church, not wanting to grow in knowledge and grace of our Lord.
They refused the presence of true authority in them yet they love to talk when they are not supposed to. Come to think of it, I wonder if this is very common for baptist churches, or evangelical churches, as Dr. Tong once commented:"Having no King, everyone did that which was right in his/her own eyes."
They believe in their toleration so much that if I leave not, they would think that I concurred with them. Now with my absence, perhaps they will get the chance to ask the right question, as Martha did, and get the right answer. It is not easy to convince those who are spoiled in America how spoiled they are.
Alas, O Lord God, what can I do? I know I cannot touch thy holy Ark with my hand. What is Thy bidding, my Lord. Please make me repent even for my hidden faults, cleanse my soul, give me Thy bidding.
